Ermou 26 Hotel
We had an excellent stay here. It's s modern boutique hotel and everything was new, clean and in great working condition. The location is unbelievable... Right in the middle of what I imagine is the high street with all the shops such as H&M, pull & Bear etc. And it's a 5 minute walk from Monastiraki ...
